We are less than two weeks away from another Trump Shutdown, if the President does not abandon his demands for an ineffective border wall. In the U.S. House of Representatives, my colleagues and I are working hard to keep our government open, funded, and functioning properly.

UPCOMING EVENT

Gun Violence Prevention Town Hall with Congressman Thompson

REMINDER:This Saturday, February 9th, we will join with Congressman Mike Thompson, Chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, to host a town hall on gun violence prevention in Martinez. Please see the details below, and we hope to see you there.

President Trump has spent his whole presidency unfairly punishing federal workers who dedicate their lives to serving our nation. Most recently, he shut down the government and canceled scheduled pay raises. I supported the Federal Civilian Workforce Pay Raise Fairness Act this week, which gives long overdue pay raises to federal civilian workers. This bill passed by a vote of 259-to-161.
